The next-generation operational ICT services for public safety users, such as police and first responders, rely on commercial 5G/6G infrastructure and rapidly deployable networks. Mission-critical intelligent applications—such as autonomous unmanned vehicles and cyber situational awareness—can be deployed to private or to trustworthy public cloud-edge continuum. They can also be dynamically reorchestrated based on operational requirements. We analyze requirements and present orchestration concepts or rapid and autonomous configuring and deployment of network core, cybersecurity operations center, and drone navigation functions. The prototyped concepts enable us to research the potential and trade-offs of different architectural alternatives and highlight the future research directions.
